Nested module directory creation fails

[Chris Coetzee]

Part of my template looks as follows:

lib/file_name.rb
lib/file_name/

When I run sow foo-bar there's an error because the intermediary directory lib/foo in lib/foo/bar wasn't created.

I added FileUtils.mkdir_p for directories to sow on line 105 & 110:

diff --git a/bin/sow b/bin/sow
index 10de657..182e7b8 100755

Would you consider adding this fix?

I'm getting confused by my own shitty ancient code... Why do those two paragraphs even exist if this is below:

Bit and brain rot 😄

Hmm, it looks like those are only applicable to files ending in .erb, might be better to hoist it or create a helper for file creation? 🤷

I've applied your diffs above. (I don't remember the last time I actually used sow at this point? when did I last start a new project? SAD!)... I'll get a release out shortly

Sigh, yeah I've not used sow much myself, but was looking to iron out my local project creation process and have a single tool. At the moment using bundler or rails, but the options for templating out there are few it seems, maybe I haven't looked hard enough!
